ULTIMATE FLEXIBILITY
Largest scale, broadest range
In response to the need to scale up chromatography processes, Repligen offers the largest pre-packed columns for the bioprocess industry. OPUS® 45R, 60R and 80R Columns are the first pre-packed columns designed to meet the chromatography requirements of larger 1000L and 2000L single-use bioreactors.
- Easily configured for bed height, resin, and application
- Seamless scale-up from smaller OPUS® Columns
- Complete documentation package for GMP use
- Significant time and cost savings compared to conventional column technology
- Consistent materials of construction
- Class VI, EMA 410/01 compliant materials
- GMP and pre-GMP quality packages
- ISO documentation (CoA, RSF)
- Select from > 150 resins
- Individual column release testing
Ultimate Flexibility
Packed with user-specified resins
Repligen packs > 250 resins from 60 resin families >15 resin vendors. The most frequently packed resins are 30-120μm in particle size and based on matrices of agarose, methacrylate, cellulose, and polystyrene material. A convenient resin pick-up service is available upon approval.

Access CHT™ Resin pre-packed in OPUS Columns
Ceramic hydroxyapatite (CHT™) resin offers unique selectivity during the purification of mAbs and recombinant proteins. OPUS Columns can now be pre-packed with CHT™ resin and shipped world wide with excellent performance.
- Internal diameters from 5 - 45 cm
- Bed heights from 5 - 30 cm

CHT™ is a trademark of Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc.
Performance maintained after shipping
Average plate count and asymmetry variance post-shipping was within 8% and 3%, respectively, of the pre-shipping value. Absolute values were within the specification window.
Ultimate Flexibility
Innovative resin recovery port
From pre-packed to unpacked
With an innovative side port that allows for easy resin unpacking, OPUS 45R, 60R, and 80R Columns provide the ultimate flexibility in pre-packed column technology.
Without compromising chromatographic performance or cleanability, the new feature helps mitigate the risk of implementing pre-packed columns in GMP settings, and allows for re-use of the unpacked resin in other columns.
In the event of a deviation, and if the OPUS pre-packed column performance cannot be recovered, the column can be unpacked and the resin can be repacked into a traditional, self-packed column.
After the intended usage of the OPUS pre-packed column, the column can be unpacked and resin transferred to a development or pilot setting for additional use.
OPUS® flow distributors are designed to maintain uniform flow distribution. The design leverages industry-accepted technology, including a radial flow field and anti-jet funnel.
During the development of OPUS® columns, dispersion as a function of column performance was modeled to confirm critical parameters of the flow distributor. The final design was qualified through computational fluid dynamics modeling and applications case studies performed in the OPUS® applications lab.
Constructed from a medical grade polypropylene homopolymer, all product contact surfaces in OPUS® Columns are EMA 410/01 (or Animal Free) and Class VI Compliant.
OPUS® Columns are compatible with accepted cleaning and sanitization protocols used in typical downstream processing campaigns for monoclonal antibodies, recombinant proteins, or vaccines.
Using colorimetric measurement of phosphate reduction, an OPUS® 20 Column packed with 6 FF was reliably cleaned of residual phosphate in just 2 CVs.
- OPUS® Columns contain no significant dead spaces
- OPUS® Column design is easily cleanable
HIGH PERFORMANCE
Impact on process economics
Substantial savings in manufacturing costs and labor are realized because OPUS Columns offer the benefits that come with pre-packed technology:
- No up-front capital expense
- Reduction of CIP procedures and cross contamination
- Faster campaign turnaround time
- Operational excellence (reduced labor requirements)
In this example, over 65% cost savings and up to 80% labor savings were achieved when using OPUS Columns compared to self-packed columns.*
